Questions

What BPM is Kingdom Come?

190 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Kingdom Come hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

213 bars, about 4:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Kingdom Come?

16 fills to learn, played 48 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 16 and 42 more.
